meanwhile, as soon as macnicol stepped up I was like "oh gosh don't give the ball to him, the best player always misses"

it is a remarkable trend that your best player is probably useless in a penalty shootout haha

Nicely done, it looked liked a tough fought battle too.

It will be interesting to see the likes of Tatu, MacNicol and co how they will go in the future, they look like promising talents from the highlights of the games.

Then you add in a lot of the European talents like Okon Jr and Treffiletti and a lot more Australian based talent with another year of experience and this team can elevate to another level for next years Asian Cup.

I've really liked what I've seen of Necovski and Kasumovic in central defense, MacNicol and Treffiletti (star!) in midfield and Tatu up forward. There is a lot to like about this age group.

ASEAN U-19 Boys’ Championship a chance for new players to shine for Subway Young Socceroos

Lewis Wiseman // Photo Credit: Pepe AlvujarUpdated: 09:11pm Jul 8, 2024

A new-look squad of players will represent the Subway Young Socceroos at the upcoming 2024 ASEAN U-19 Boys’ Championship held in Surabaya, Indonesia from 17-29 July.

Head Coach Trevor Morgan explained the decision to name a fresh-looking squad was based on the strength in depth within this age group in Australian football.“We are at a stage of broadening the player base, and that is in part due to the fact we have a lot of quality players to pick from, the depth of talent in this age group is impressive,” he said.“We gave a group the chance to play at a top level during the tour to South America, and I felt this ASEAN Championship was another opportunity to give chances to new players.”
 
Australia has been drawn in Group B for the tournament, alongside Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam and will play all their Group Stage fixtures out of Gelora 10 November Stadium.Morgan said this tournament is a great platform to highlight the strength within Australian youth football and is excited for those players making their debut.“It’s an exciting time really, there will be many debuts at the championships for our squad, and we are giving these players an opportunity to show their skill.“They have earned the call-up, and I am excited to see how they get on in Indonesia.”In terms of expectations and goals, Morgan said the tournament is there to be won.“There’s some must win games coming up, so the boys have to apply what they’ve learned, but also believe in their ability,” he said.“Everyone wants to win  international football tournament and we will certainly be going there to try and do so.”Following this tournament, Morgan will select a squad for the AFC U-20 Asian Cup China PR 2025™ Qualifiers in September.The U-20 Asian Cup will also act as World Cup qualifiers, raising the stakes higher for the Young Socceroos over the coming months.“It is coming up to the beginning of World Cup qualifying, and if you do well, win one game at a time, you could end up at a World Cup next year,” he said.“It will be a massive period for the boys, some of the life experiences will be incredible over the next 12 months or so and I am excited for the group.”The ultimate goal for Morgan, and the rest of the Young Socceroos coaching staff is to develop players for the future.“We want to expose as many young players as possible to top level international football, that’s the goal, to see players progress into the Olyroos and Socceroos,” he said.

Subway Young Socceroos squad named for ASEAN U-19 Boys’ Championship

Football Australia Media \\ Photo Credit: Pepe AlvujarUpdated: 02:52pm Jul 8, 2024


Subway Young Socceroos’ Head Coach, Trevor Morgan has named a 23-player squad to contest the 2024 ASEAN U-19 Boys’ Championship held in Surabaya, Indonesia from 17-29 July.

The tournament – formerly known as the AFF Championship – features 12 Members from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Football Federation.Australia has been drawn in Group B for the tournament, alongside Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam and will play all their Group Stage fixtures out of Gelora 10 November Stadium.The 2024 edition of the Championship – which is also contested at U-16 level – will be Australia’s ninth appearance, having previously won the tournament on five occasions (2006, 2008, 2010, 2016, 2019).Morgan will take vastly different squad to Indonesia than the one that toured South America in June, putting in strong performances against both Chile and Uruguay. The tournament's timing has created an opportunity to broaden depth across the age group, prior to Morgan selecting his squad for AFC U-20 Asian Cup China PR 2025™ Qualifiers in September.The squad features several players who have been elevated to senior Isuzu UTE A-League Men squads in the last 12-months including Zac De Jesus (Sydney FC), Jake Najdovski (Western United FC), Tiago Quintal (Sydney FC) and Fabian Talladira (Adelaide United FC).Daniel Graskoski was also named after earning promotion to Melbourne Victory FC’s senior squad this week, while Marcus Younis (Western Sydney Wanderers FC) heads to Indonesia with plenty of senior minutes from throughout the 2023/24 season.Subway Young Socceroos’ Head Coach, Trevor Morgan said the Championships provided an important opportunity to expose players to challenging tournament conditions in Asia.
“This tournament is a perfect chance to develop these players through competitive matches and allow them to show what they can bring come September,” Morgan said.“We’ve made several considerations when selecting this squad, including allowing players who travelled to South America in June a chance to rest before they join A-League pre-season at their respective clubs, and most importantly, the opportunity for this group players to gain experience and perform for their country, something they have earned.“We’ve had the chance to completely change the squad between assemblies and the fact we can do this shows the depth of talent available, and the belief we have in giving players the chance to step up. It’s important we continue to develop this group as they move through our pathway, and being involved in tournament football is the perfect environment to achieve that.”The Subway Young Socceroos will arrive in Indonesia in the wake of the Subway Joeys being crowned 2024 ASEAN U-16 Boys’ Champions, courtesy of a thrilling penalty shootout victory over Thailand in the Final.“It was great to see the Joeys come away as Champions in their age group and I’m so happy to see what they achieved in their first tournament in Asia,” concluded Morgan.Subway Joeys’ Head Coach and Young Socceroos’ Assistant, Brad Maloney won’t remain in Indonesia, and instead will attend the upcoming 2024 National Youth Championships Boys’ Tournament in Wollongong.

A question for those in the know.

All of those lads are coming from A League clubs. Are there lads in the NPL that are missing out because they're in the NPL?

barely any of the players born in 2005 with a league experience are there

De Jesus and Younis the only exception. This must be a tournament being used to try and accelerate their careers?

Coach says in the article he is using this tournament to give some on the outer a chance before the AFC tourney. Not a massive fan of that because they had a South American tour before this they could have used. The boys need to have an appetite to win things from a young age as a group imo.

People hate on Bulls and Western united but all those players who are there may not have had a chance otherwise. A wide net is so important for growing our game

My thoughts too.. These U19s players all came from other Junior clubs.... The "Academies" seem to just skim the talent pool otherwise you would see a hell of lot more Aleague clubs in the right hand column no? Scouting for national squads is obviously ONLY done within the tent not outside it.

Not trying to have a go here, but which NPL players should be selected? How many young Socceroo eligible players are playing regularly in the NPL?

The cream will always rise to the top with these sort of things.

Thats sort of the point.. Any decent U14s at NPL level are pushed towards Aleague Academies with the promise of a "pathway" that isnt just to play semi pro football.

We need heaps more teams at a pro level that can offer a better pathway than just 11 Australian Academies... England may only have a population double ours but they have 92 Football academies with a pathway to senior professional football. not to mention all the private ones....

I don't know enough about the NPL that's why I'm asking.

I'm wondering are they casting the net wide enough or are NPL players that are quality snapped up by A League clubs in any case.
